Block parties are simply a great way to meet your neighbors! They provide a casual relaxed setting where residents can meet, play, eat and hopefully find similarities that bring them closer together. Neighborhood meetings are great places to discuss business and issues, but then to be formal and less conducive to meeting new people. With a little effort and consistency, a neighborhood of strangers can be transformed into a connected community of families that care for each other and the overall health and vibrancy of their neighborhood.
